Oh, just a short side-note here, we Germans do have "begreifen" und
"verstehen". But it's true that we mostly say "Hast Du verstanden?" , not "Hast
Du [das] begriffen?" The latter way you would rather talk to a child (or to a
person whom you don't trust his mental abilities...)

D'oh!
This is amazing. In Germany, (and in other European countries, I guess) you
might get a set 75% off if your lucky, but then it's shelfworn and that kind of
set that nobody wants anyway, like 5811 or so.
